Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40963]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel we would not have a prayer's chance in hell in the Hernando County Jail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autobiography is probably the most respectable form of lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autobiography is probably the most respectable form of lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flower is the poetry of reproduction.

We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the passions are nothing else than different degrees of heat and cold of the blood. [Fr., Toutes les passions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45606]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the passions are nothing else than different degrees of heat and cold of the blood. [Fr., Toutes les passions ne sout autre chose que les divers degres de la chaleur et de la froideur du sang.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendent world. -Measure for Measure.
